\"\"<\/a>Another pickleball tournement<\/a>: 2:2 with Lurline<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The format is random draw to find a partner, that stays together for the entire time, 4 games at 10-minute intervals. 3 minutes is allotted between games. At the five-minute mark during the game, teams change sides. If it’s a tie at whistle, keep playing till a team wins, which is the sudden death (by a point).<\/p>\n

Here is the scores<\/a>:<\/p>\n

    #4, my lob was long, so it was 7-7 at whistle. Our oppenonts couldn’t convert during their two serve opportunities. Then I served and we won the sudden death. #5, my partner was tired and we did not play well, unfortunately.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a>There is so much food, from grapes to donut balls, crackers, pretzels, chewy protein bars, bananas, mandarins, etc.<\/p>\n
